A strategic partnership between associations will enable member companies to connect their supply chain operations and decarbonization efforts
February 14, 2023 – New York, NY – Gemini Shippers Association, the transportation industry’s leading cooperative procurement group, announced a partnership with Greenabl today to enable shippers to incorporate their transportation activities — the largest sector of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the U.S. — into broader ESG and sustainability efforts.
The partnership will allow member companies of Gemini Shippers Association to seamlessly integrate their shipment data with the Greenabl platform to accurately measure their carbon output and identify opportunities to mitigate and offset GHG emissions. Greenabl will benefit from the long-standing relationships that Gemini Shippers has fostered with shippers, carriers, ports, and regulators as it pursues its goal to bring all stakeholders involved in supply chain decarbonization to the table.
“The way companies buy and consume transportation services is changing for good,” explained Nicole Uchrin, managing director of Gemini Shippers Association. “A viable path to supply chain decarbonization is critical to the long-term success of any company. This partnership with Greenabl will provide our members with a clear roadmap to measure, mitigate and offset supply chain emissions while ensuring compliance with the ever-changing regulatory environment.”
George Goldman, executive chairman of Greenabl added: “To prevent the permanent warming of our planet, every facet of the transportation industry needs to take an active role in decarbonization, both within their own operations as well as across partner and customer relationships. That’s why I’m excited to partner with the Gemini team – their relationships with their members, carriers, and other stakeholders will help Greenabl scale rapidly and make significant progress on industry’s journey to net zero.”
The association duo wants to help companies break down decades-old paradigms which have previously prevented stakeholders from engaging with each other on projects for the collective good. Working together, Gemini Shippers and Greenabl are making supply chain cooperation and collaboration easier than ever before.
